I have always loathed working out.

People don't know this, but early in your career, you don't just glide on to The Tonight Show.

Really it was the first time in my life that I recognised that acting is, I'm just going to say it, I am an artist, I have to do this, I have to do this.

I'm not a huge fan of my work.

I have always loathed working out.

At one point, I had 14 pairs of golf shoes.

Sometimes, I feel that Manhattan in particular has gotten really tame and gentrified or something.

I don't think, there's no possible way for me, anyway, to play a character that I haven't found some sort of sublime compassion for and I related to Deborah on a way that almost, initially, almost in a way maybe someone in the audience might.

I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!

Well, I think again, the worst part of it was just leading up to it, before we got on set, at least for me... dreading this idea that I was just going to suck and I really had strong feelings about that. I just didn't want to be that weak link.

Shopping turns me off.

Yes, I guess I am bi-coastal.

Acting doesn't feel good. It's not comfortable to feel all this stuff, it's not.

But I've never looked at myself as being particularly funny.

The one thing I think you must do is, as painful as it is as a parent, is listen.

I've been in a gym probably nine days of my life.

And I thought, you know, I have to say that maybe the whacked out mother is my new favorite role, but I don't want to just do it and become Nurse Ratchett.

I'm not quite ready for a no makeup movie.

I just mean it's very difficult for me to watch my work, in some ways, because I am critical of what I didn't get across or I thought I was making one point.

Well what I will tell you is for this movie, I got into probably the best shape of my life.

But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.

First of all, returning from motherhood, I was looking for something lighter, and I wasn't as much attracted to Kate as I was to the relationship between the two people.

If I swim in the ocean, I have a shark thought. Not a bad one, but just a little one.

I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn't like about this community.

It was just this interesting, my first, the first time you hear your child in any way criticise you. It's the worst review of your life and it's really relieving to find out that they don't know what they're saying.

I live by a hill. I began walking it and then I began jogging it and then I began sprinting it.

Jim Brooks is a very powerful director and it was a lot of intense work.

I don't mean to be presumptuous that men don't feel this, I don't mean this, but I found that when my child was born, my first child, it felt like my heart broke.

Well, I don't find glamour and clothing relevant.

It's kind of fun to be sexy.

I was one of the most brilliant liars as a child.

I am working to make sure we don't only protect the environment, we also improve governance.

I am in no mood to be deceived any longer by the crafty devil and false character whose greatest pleasure is to take advantage of everyone.

One of my favorite activities when I was a teenager was going riding on the back of a horse with a friend of mine. Because we were rather high up, I could see into peoples' lighted windows as we trotted past. Questions would rise up inside: Who lives there? Are they happy? What are they doing? Any dogs or cats in sight?

I spent pretty much every minute of my life with my mom.

A record company used to be a very good thing, but they ended up soul-destroyingly trapping people in the accounting department. And you couldn't get any further, and the heads of each department were changing all the time, so you couldn't have any permanent relationship within the corporation.

To go to hospitals and see people fight and overcome cystic fibrosis or cancer or any number of illnesses is to see courage that is humbling. And athletes constantly need to be humbled.

There's a certain kind of research you have to listen to - the factual stuff, not opinion. Facts are facts. Sugar is sweet - it's not a matter of opinion. It just is.

I still do television. I don't care. I just want to work. I love to work. I want to do 500 movies.

That flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust that measures all our time; which also shall be crumbled into dust.

It's my goal to show the world that Americans know how to help Americans without expecting the government to come riding in on a white horse and save the day.

I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.

Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes not. But I'm an instinctual player.

Surround yourself with the right people, and realize your own worth. Honestly, there are enough bad people out there in the world - you don't need to be your own worst enemy.

We are all just little dolls of ourselves. Who occasionally pull back the curtains to reveal the real us.

According to Greek mythology humans were originally created with four arms four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power Zeus split them into two separate parts condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.

In fact, in 2002, the Secretary of Defense authorized such support on a reimbursable basis to organizations formerly components of the Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury and currently components of the Department of Homeland Security.

Luckily, my wife is amazing. She's one of the few people in my life I'm completely honest with. I've told her everything about my past. She knows me inside and out. There's no secrets at all.

Our parents have always encouraged us to be independent and dream big.
